Skilljar enables you to use your own payment gateway to process e-commerce transactions for any courses or learning path you sell. You can also check out how Bulk Purchasing Courses, Paths, or Plans in Skilljar works from an Admin and a Student perspective.
By setting up your own payment gateway, you will receive payment directly to your own account, according to your payment processors' terms and policies.
What payment gateways are supported?
From the Skilljar Dashboard, easily connect to the following payment gateways:
- Paypal - accept payment through Paypal with either a credit card or Paypal account
- Stripe - accept all major credit cards supported by Stripe
Each instance of Skilljar ("Organization") can connect to one payment processor. Please connect your Organization to one gateway to begin processing transactions.
Additionally, we support the following custom payment gateways:
You can also configure your organization to process payments outside of Skilljar through an external payment gateway:
To configure a custom payment gateway using one of the services listed above, please contact your Implementation Manager, Customer Success Manager, or Skilljar Support.
Refunds
All refunds must be processed via your payment processor (such as PayPal) and not through Skilljar. After a refund has been processed, you can update your order report to reflect it by API or by contacting Skilljar Support. Please see your payment processor's help center for more information about their refund process.
